The Almighty YAHUWAH of hosts wills all men on Earth to undergo conversion (to be born-again) and become His sons, bearing His Name. Moreover, He desires all men to become royal priests, ministering to Him day in and day out, similar to the hosts of heaven.

1. YAHUWAH is most qodesh, set apart from other deities, so a kohen (priest) must be qodesh, set apart among the people of the Earth, for the service of Elohim. "It is YAHUWAH who separated you and set you apart from the nations; He has called you His own". A kohen (priest) is willed to render unto Elohim a special service as required from the hosts of heaven. And there is one law between the hosts in Heaven and the elects on the Earth. As it is in Heaven, so shall it be on Earth.

2. All men who approach Elohim as a kohen to minister to Him must consecrate themselves to YAHUWAH in every aspect of their lives: their lifestyle and worship. They must be careful not to offer unauthorized worship to Elohim, as exemplified by the cautionary tale of Aaron's sons. You must set Elohim apart in your worship, for He is Most Set-Apart. Do not engage in unfamiliar forms of worship that may provoke His displeasure. Avoid emulating or adopting the practices of other religions in your worship of Elohim. YAHUWAH is a jealous Elohim Deut 12:29-32

3. All kohanim (priests), born-again to bear the Name of YAHUWAH, are called to follow in the footsteps of Yahoshea the High Kohen and imitate His deeds—in words, actions, and character. YAHUWAH Eternal willed that all kohanim surrender their desires and agendas to follow the Will of Elohim instead. It is the will of YAHUWAH that you set your mind on the things above, not on the cares of this present world Matt 6:20-21.

4. The life of a kohen is dedicated as an offering to Elohim, a complete tithe unto YAHUWAH. Therefore, a kohen must forsake their old ways and put to death practices such as fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil lust, and covetousness, as these are all forms of idolatry. A kohen belongs to Elohim, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, and is required to be perfect- without blemish before YHWH Matt 5:48.

5. A kohen is an ambassador of Elohim, a witness before the nations that YAHUWAH alone is the true Creator. A believer is willed through the Word of Elohim to direct himself and others to proper living and proper worship. Whatever he does in work or in words must be by the Name of Yahoshea the Messiah, and in absolute humility, long-suffering, and mercy. A believer must always remember that they are YAHUWAH's property and representative Malachi 2:7.

6. A kohen is called to learn all the ways of YAHUWAH and bring YAHUWAH's influence to the nations. A believer is forbidden to imitate the ways of the nations around YermiYahu 10:2-5.

7. The life of a believer is one of praise, constant fasting and praying, peace-making, and self-denial, for such actions are sweet-smelling incense to Elohim. A kohen must be blameless in all manners, as he is a sweet offering unto YAHUWAH Elohim. There should not be a moment in a priest's life when the fire of praise ceases Ex 29:38-46.

8. A kohen of Elohim should never imitate earthly people or learn their ways. Ever since the fall of Adam, the system of this world has been hostile to the righteousness of Elohim. Instead, he must seek out the desires of YAHUWAH in Heaven and live by them as he sojourns here on Earth Jacob-James 4:4. 

9. A kohen (priest) must maintain purity of thought and humility in all aspects of his life. He should refrain from indulging in lustful thoughts towards women and avoid engaging in unrighteous conversations or friendships with individuals of the opposite sex 1 Corinth 6:19-20.

10. A kohen should ideally have only one wife, or better yet, be without a wife altogether. This would enable him to dedicate his entire strength, mind, and focus to the service of Elohim 1 Tim 3:2-5.

11. A kohen must not drink alcoholic beverages but wine because he is a temple of Elohim. A temple is a house of prayer and worship and must be qodesh 1 Tim 5:23.

12. A kohen must avoid all intoxicating substances such as drugs, narcotics, and cigarettes. He is a temple 1 Peter 2:9.

13. A Kohen must not partake in gambling of any kind, such as Bingo, Lotto, Wheel of Fortune, Poker, and Slots. For such activities were defined as those of the sons of Cain Deut 18:9-12.

14. A kohen should abstain from engaging in any form of competition. Similar to how air sustains the entire population of the earth, a kohen is tasked with supporting, encouraging, and strengthening others, particularly the poor, orphans, and widows.

The people of this age compete against one another, showcasing their supremacy. However, the sons of 'the new earth to come' support one another, and none among us should assume to be better than others. YAHUWAH is our unitary strength, our sole source of supply; our resurrection after death. To Him alone belongs all the cheering Matt 20:1-16.

15. A believer must refrain from engaging in political arguments, making offensive jokes, or participating in conversations that do not encourage others to do what is right or honor the Name of YAHUWAH 1 Peter 2:9.

16. A kohen must be very disciplined, well-mannered, modest, and straightforward, because he is a witness to the greatness of Elohim. He must show seriousness in all things he partakes in; he must avoid being entangled in sentimental emotions. He must stand to minister before Elohim like a cherub 1 Peter 3:10-22.

17. A kohen must be bold and courageous. For without those virtues, no one could withstand the pressure of this world system, which stands in complete opposition to the ways of YAHUWAH - the Rewarder of those who overcome 1 Jh 5:3-5.

18. A Kohen is likened to a signpost of Elohim and must exhibit strictness and uncompromising behavior before men, mirroring the strictness and uncompromising nature of Elohim. He is likened to a traffic light: strict and uncompromising, yet ensuring order and safety. A loose kohen is akin to a malfunctioning traffic light, initially signaling green for pedestrians to cross, only to abruptly flash red under the influence and pressure of approaching vehicles. What follows is inevitable: an accident, as it operates by a different set of rules James 2:1-13.

19. A kohen (priest) should under no circumstance take part in practices such as magic, astrology (including horoscopes, tarot, psychic and palm reading), birthdays, zodiac signs, circuses, occultism, and divination, as these are considered abominations to YAHUWAH Elohim Deut 18:10-12.

20. A believer should not eat meat with blood under any circumstance, for life resides in the blood. It is blood that makes atonement for one's life. Whosoever consumes meat with blood shall be excommunicated unless they repent Lev 19:26-34.

21. A kohen must not engage in complaining, even when treated unfairly. He must bring all his affairs before YAHUWAH, who watches over all affairs in Heaven and on Earth. YAHUWAH is our sole source of blessings. Our confidence should be rested on Him alone, not on people's decisions Titus 2:9-10.

22. A Kohen must not engage in an questionable business transaction. He must not bring the name of YAHUWAH, whom he bears, in vain because of his unrighteous dealings Proverbs 12:22.

23. A Kohen must not live a materialistic lifestyle because the Earth is not our home. We are only sojourners on Earth, meant to atone for our sins and to overcome Satan and all disobedience. Therefore, those who overcome will be granted the right to the Tree of Life, and they shall live forever in the Paradise of Delight – as sons and ministers of Elohim Matt 6:19-21.

24. A kohen must not exchange his duty with his wife, either a kohen's helpmate should do the duty of the priest; do not take the Name of YAHUWAH in vain 1 Timothy 2:11-14.

25.In the first fruits of every endeavor (such as finding a new job, moving to a new apartment, or buying a new car), an offering of thanksgiving should be presented to Elohim. However, this offering should come from a heart filled with gratitude and be made willingly, without any sense of burden Lev 2:12.

26. The residence of a kohen must be set apart, as well as his body—the temple of the Qodesh Spirit. A kohen must keep his environment in order and sanitary. For cleanliness is next to righteousness. Elohim should be set apart in all endeavors Deut 23:12-14. 

27. A born-again Kohen must be hospitable to strangers, slow to anger, and slow to speak. He should be known in his community as a quiet and peaceful individual, not one seen as argumentative and troublesome Titus 1:6-9.

28. A priest must maintain and manage his household, especially his wife. The household should radiate the light of Elohim and serve as an exemplary model for all, demonstrating our commitment to the truth 1 Jh 2:4-6.

Pertaining Worship

1. Whoever draws near to YAHUWAH to make an offering of praise and thanksgiving during the periods of prayer must come of his or her own free choice. Children must come according to the will of their parents Ephesians 6:1-3.

2. Prior to worship, all sins must be atoned for through the blood of Yahoshea the High Kohen. The offering of worship must be unblemished; it should not be rushed or tainted by grudges or bitterness in one's heart. The hearts of all believers must be without fault. YAHUWAH Almighty will not accept an offering with a blemish. Therefore, if you come to worship and remember that a brother or a sister has something against you, you must go and settle it first before returning to worship Matt 5:23-24.

3. Every offering of worship and praise made by a believer must be presented in the place YAHUWAH chooses to put His Name for His dwelling Deut 12:1-8. So, in the Name of Yahoshea Messiah, YAHUWAH Almighty has chosen to put His Name, so that where two or three gather in the Name of Yahoshea, there Elohim will be in their midst. Yahoshea means: 'YAH' (YAHUWAH) - 'Oshea' (salvation). So, it translates to 'YAHUWAH's salvation'. Hence, any believer who worships outside the Congregation bearing the Name of YAHUWAH must face expulsion unless they repent. Such actions are deemed treasonous to Elohim. The Sons of Elohim ought not to make offerings to the names of other deities (demons) Rev 17:2-6.

4. Offering any tainted money gained from gambling, betting, or illegal sources to Elohim is unacceptable, as it is defiled. YAHUWAH must be honored and kept separate from such impurities. Do not bring unclean things into your homes, whether they be books, movies, or objects Deut 7:26.

5. Believers are to love everyone as themselves, that is, to commit to the well-being of all and respect everyone and their beliefs. However, anyone called by the Name of YAHUWAH must not listen to the preaching of anyone who teaches by the name of other deities besides YAHUWAH, and do not learn their ways. For YAHUWAH, your Elohim, is a jealous Elohim. HE should be set apart among His people—His own treasured possession Ex 34:12-17.

6. The Qodesh Congregation of Elohim must not imitate other religions or follow their traditions. For example, they should not replicate the ways in which other religions set up their altars or gathering sites, nor should they imitate their worship practices. No believer should use songs dedicated to the names of deities from other religions to worship Elohim. The Almighty will not accept such worship. YAHUWAH should be set apart among His own people. Sing to YAHUWAH with original and organic songs, written for His Name, because YAHUWAH the Most High deserves the first and the best fruit of our offerings Rev 2:1-7.

7. No one should appear before Elohim in any of the feasts: Sabbath, New Moon, especially in the High qodesh feasts, such as Passover, the Feast of the Weeks, and the Feast of the Tabernacles, empty-handed Deut 16:16.
